1 Colo. Code Regs. § 104-3-10
A claimant may request a determination of additional compensation for disfigurement to areas of the claimant's body normally exposed to public view by filing an Application for Hearing - Disfigurement Only ("Disfigurement Application"). Unless the parties agree otherwise, the date of the Disfigurement Application must be at least 6 months from the date of injury except when the claimant has had surgery, in which case the Disfigurement Application must be at least 6 months from the date of surgery. If a final admission of liability has been filed pursuant to section 8-43-203(2)(b)(II)(a), C.R.S., a claimant may request a hearing on disfigurement regardless of the date of injury or surgery.
Requests for a Disfigurement Award by photograph shall be filed with the DOWC. The claimant shall not simultaneously file a Request for a Disfigurement Award by photograph and a Disfigurement Application. Should the claimant be dissatisfied with an award based on photographs, the claimant is permitted to file a Disfigurement Application with the OAC.
Unless otherwise provided in the disfigurement award order, the employer or insurer is entitled to a credit for any amount previously paid for disfigurement. If the amount of the credit exceeds the disfigurement award, the employer or insurer may offset the amount of the credit against any future temporary or permanent disability benefits.
